“Ron was a wonderful dog sitter. We left our two small dogs with him for a week and took amazing care of them. Sent pictures daily with little updates and we could tell our dogs felt right at home with him. He has a beautiful back yard with a dog door for them to roam his fully fenced in yard. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him. We will definitely book with him in the future”
“Exceptional! Carly is a shy dog with others but because Sheila and David are such "dog people", they sent pics every day of Carly, peacefully laying on their laps! This was the first time ever boarding Carly and she is not used to having other dogs around her but, their own dogs, Mellow and Jaxon were well behaved and welcomed Carly. Mellow even shared his crate with Carly when she wanted a quiet place of "her own". The daily texts and pics were fun and welcome. Their home is perfectly set up for boarding multiple dogs if needed. The outdoor spaces are perfect! Plenty of shade and spacious enough to lounge or run around. I can't recommend Shiela and David more highly. If it is your first time boarding your fur-baby, and you are nervous about it, choose Shiela and David. You can rest assured that your baby, even a baby as shy as Carly, is well cared for with Shiela and David.”
“Katarina was fantastic, she was responsive, communicated and sent pictures very often which we appreciated. She made our timid dog feel comfortable which is always great. We will definitely book with her again! The price was also very good and fair which was very good as well.”
“Gail was amazing with my elderly diabetic cat. She was able to customize a private little space for my senior kitty to be safe and secure. She also sent periodic pictures and updates to put my mind at ease!”
“Vicky watched my pups for a second time and everything went great 😊 she sent lots of pictures, updates every day, and my dogs were happy as ever when I picked them up. She’s awesome and I plan on using her for future dog sitting!”
“Beth took great care of our 5 month old pup, Disco while we were away for a few days. Disco had a great time playing with Beth's dogs and came back happy and exhausted (the best way for a puppy to be). We will definitely use Beth the next time we are in Tucson.”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”
“Royce and Bentley had a great time exploring in the yard and rolling on the turf. Royce enjoyed his belly rubs, and Bentley got plenty of exercise from playing ball. They were so well taken care of, I’m not sure they even missed me!”
“Gina was attentive, kind, and great energy! I felt very comfortable knowing my babies were in good hands. I received daily pictures and updates. I couldn't be happier with our experience.”
“We had a meet and greet beforehand. My babies loved her and her yard that was so full of new scents and possible adventures. When we dropped them off they were already familiar with her and the home. They made themselves right at home and they all claimed her as their own. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our babies were being loved on and cared for.”
“One of my guys was recently put on medication, and I was a little worried about leaving him with a sitter. Dana was terrific about it. My boys got a so much attention and came home happy.”
“She really does care about furry family members, treats them with love and kindness. She was always in touch and sending pictures. My babies were comfortable and well take cared of.”
“Marraya and her mother went above and beyond to accommodate our tiny but mighty chihuahuas for an entire weekend. They cared and loved our babies like if they were their own. Fur babies had to board at Marrayas house which was so clean and smelled so fresh. Abe and Zena do have special requirements and they were all fulfilled. Marraya was very commutative with updates and cute photos! She will be our go to sitter for any trips! 🙌🙏🙏”
“Cashmere was well taken care of by Ana. My little dog got to play with Ana’s little dog. The socialization was great. Cashmere was taken on walks in the neighborhood. Ana did a great job communicating to me on a regular basis. She sent pictures and video often. We had a god experience.”
“We have used Daniel multiple times now, and I can confidently say he is truly one of a kind. Daniel is such a kind, warm, and caring person, and it clearly shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. Our dog, Klay, absolutely loves him and he especially loves spending time with Daniel’s dog, Linus. Klay is always so happy and excited when we arrive at Daniel’s home. It has become a place of joy for him. In fact, today when I picked Klay up, I could see the sadness in his eyes as we drove away. He kept looking back at Daniel’s house, and as his mom, I know that look , he was going to miss being there. That alone tells me everything I need to know. Klay is always well taken care of, loved, cuddled, played with, and treated like family. With Daniel, I never have to worry. I know my dog is in the best hands. To any dog parents looking for someone you can truly trust. Daniel provides so much love, attention, playtime, tickles, and genuine care. Your fur babies will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Thank you so much, Daniel. We appreciate you more than you know!💜”
“My dog Kora loves staying with Courtney and her family - she comes back rejuvenated and happy. Courtney is always top on my list for boarding. Great communication, flexibility, and very caring. 10/10.”
“Jose kept my cat for a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Jose gave me updates and sent pictures. My sweet girl is shy and cautious so it takes a day or so for her to warm up. By the third day, she was sunbathing on her side which means she was very comfortable. He provided a calm safe space for her. I will definitely use him again in the future and highly recommend him. Jose, thank you again!”

Will definitely have Alex take care of my pets again!”

About: I have been taking care of friends and family members cats for the past 4 years more frequently but have always enjoyed spending time with cats. I am detail oriented about any daily instructions and value the well being of any animals I am watching. I enjoy playing with social cats and just sharing space with more shy ones.
About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.
“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”
“This was my 2nd booking with Katherine. She did an awesome job caring for my cats. I could tell that the kitties were warming up to her. She washed their feeding bowls and was kind enough to line the garbage can with a new bag (I forgot to do that before leaving).”
“Stephanie has been absolutely fantastic with our ‘nervous around new things’ dog. She was quick to earn his trust and get him out of his shell. We love knowing that he is in such great hands when she’s around!”
About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.

I will always ask about emergency plans and last resort solutions so you don’t have to stress about trying to remember every little detail. I have a form for my pet parents to fill out that I keep with me while taking care of your baby :)
“Rachel did such a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! I mixed up the dates with the other sitter and she was kind and patient when I figured out the issue. She was very communicative and did everything I asked and then some. My temperamental cat even sat in her lap by the end!!!”
“We found out our young kitty was sick right before a trip we’d been planning for over a year. Terri was incredible and went above and beyond every day to make sure Atticus was doing as well as he could be and getting lots of love and attention. She even managed to get him into the vet with only a hour’s notice and sought out specific wet food flavors at different pet stores. Without Terri, we would not have felt comfortable enough to go on the trip and visit with relatives for the last time before they passed away. Terri has a large heart and many years of experience dealing with any range of kitty issues. We have worked with Terri several times and can’t thank her enough for all she has done. She’s the only sitter you’ll ever need for your purring companions.”
“Leticia was wonderful with my 2 cats. They are usually very shy around new people, but they liked Leticia the first day they met her. The one that never eats when I’m gone ate every time she fed him. Leticia sent me pictures each time she was at my house, so I knew they were fine.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Barrio Anita
“Barbara was awesome! We were visiting the area from out of town and she was so accommodating in watching our dog while we went to watch a show. My dog is very timid but he warmed up to her so quickly and really enjoyed his stay. Communication was great and she was so nice!”
“Shanda is a wonderful dog sitter. Her house is perfectly set up for doggie play / exercise and she cares very much about the client pups as well as her own 2 Corgis. Bailey felt very much at home and enjoyed her stay. Shanda was even kind enough to bring Bailey home to us so we didn't have to make the drive down to her house after we had along round-trip to the Phoenix area. I highly recommend Shanda.”
About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!

“Frankie is always ecstatic when we pull in to Beth’s. He couldn’t get in to her door fast enough! Lol! When he’s there I know he’s playing and he’s happy. I love that!”
“Sylvia is great with my pup. She shows him a great amount of affection. He likes it so much with her that he hates coming home lol. I highly recommend her, she is a life saver. ”
“Chris was great! Super flexible to work with and sent plenty of update pictures and videos showing me how much fun Pickles was having! I will definitely be using him again next time I’m in town!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!

“Steve is so good with my animals! He is very flexible with pick ups and drop offs and my dogs came home from daycare exhausted every day. He sent lots of pics and updates - I know they had a great time. Will definitely send them back.”

This ensures your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel safest. follow your exact feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules to keep your pet's day predictable. I keep your home clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.Your pets get undivided attention, plenty of playtime, and cozy companionship without the stress of a busy environment.
“Brittani was great and my puppies came home happy and tired. It was their first time at daycare so they were nervous at first but I was told they settled in and had a great time. They’ll certainly be going back.”
“Ashley and her family are the best! We were in town to deal with some business and with varying hours and she happily was very flexible about what time we needed to pick our Lily up! Our dog had a blast and was pulling on the leash to get back to the door when we brought her back after the first day. Ashley provided walks, training sessions,rest time and playtime. Our dog is on a low-fat diet for medical reasons and she conscientiously gave her the treats we brought. She sends several videos during the day so you can see your baby. There were a couple other dogs in care at the same time and she did an excellent job of introducing and monitoring the dogs. Overall a wonderful experience! We don’t live in Tucson but if we ever return for a visit we would definitely use her again and we highly recommend her to others ❤️”

“Super grateful for the wonderful walks and attention Logan gave my dog - she was super happy coming back from walks and I knew she was in safe hands while I was away”
“Sarah was amazing! She was interactive with my pups and patient and willing to come out and meet them and get to know their personalities. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Hilary was my first Rover experience and I think possibly the best I could hoped for. To say my dogs loved her is an understatement. She was on time, friendly, communicative and loving to my girls. All of the worry of having someone take care of my pets disappeared immediately upon meeting her. We wish we could give her more than 5 stars. Would recommend to everyone!”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.

“Stephanie was very responsive and did a great job of updating me during and after my dog’s walks. She was super kind and friendly and does so well with dogs, Quill loved her! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Abriana is fantastic, very patient. Abriana took as much time as my guy Otis needed to get comfortable. It worked :). Otis, who is extremely skittish, warmed up and even sat on Abriana’s lap!!!! Thank you, Abriana!!!”
“Morgan has been such a wonderful addition to Crosby’s ‘inner circle’ ☺️ From the very first meeting he took right to her and I can’t tell you how much peace it brings me knowing she is checking on my fur kid during the day. Both days I have come home from work to a happy and calm boy. Morgan is professional, organized, prompt and she has great energy. Thank you for being the best walker and for the incredible care you provide Crosby! ❤️”
“Mikayla is very reliable and professional. Luke has enjoyed his long walks. It usually takes a few walks for him to relax with a new person walking him but he seems to have taken a quick liking to Mikayla!”
About: I’ve walked dogs for multiple families in my neighborhood as well as taken care of multiple cats while there family was away. I have also house-sat with a special needs dog which required me to spend the night. I am a student at the University of Arizona, but my schedule is pretty light so dog walking/house-sitting will be able to easily fit into my schedule I am currently in a dorm so boarding is not available, but I will happily take dogs on walks or watch the house to take care of any pets.
“Emily is very accommodating and professional. My dog is large and strong and Emily handled her with ease and gave her extra exercise and attention! Highly recommend! She is very responsive and informative and my dog just loves her!”
About: I have fostered 8 dogs (so far!) and helped them find homes. Caring for dogs of different ages, temperaments and needs has taught me so much. I have experience with both dogs and cats (and birds and fish!). I work as a substitute teacher, giving me flexibility to take pet-sitting jobs on short notice. I am also available for overnight pet-sitting and longer house-sitting bookings. As a dog foster, I have learned to be exceptionally careful with new dogs. Respecting their space, while being friendly and encouraging. Taking extra precautions when leaving the house or letting them out into the yard. I understand that change and new people can be stressful to a dog and am careful to avoid additional stressors. I feel immense responsibility for the pets in my care, as well as other pets and people we encounter on walks. I also want the dogs to have fun and relax when we are at home. I really enjoy getting to know new dogs and hope they see me as a new friend ☺️
About: With lifelong experience caring for animals, friends and family often trust me with their pets’ needs. I’ve worked in a vet clinic, on ranches, and in homes with pets, and I’m comfortable providing medical care and some first aid. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to treating your pets like my own and doing things right for your pet and home. My current schedule is flexible and allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. This makes it easy for me to maintain routines, provide attentive care, and accommodate longer stays or mid-day visits when needed. I don’t currently board pets in my own home, but I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routine closely and ensure pets always have clean water, enrichment, and a calm, attentive presence. I prefer a free meet-and-greet before booking, especially for households with dogs. For cats, I respect their individual rhythms — whether that means affection, play, or quiet companionship — and I keep litter areas clean and well maintained.
“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”
About: I'm a lover of every animal I've ever met, with a background in pediatrics, medication administration, foster animal care, neo-natal pet care, first aid and pet/house sitting. I've personally had cats and dogs since I was very young, other small animals as pets as an adult (rats, chickens, goats) and have spent much of my life caring for the pets of friends and loved ones when I couldn't have pets of my own. I love to provide training for young kittens and pups, and have a special love for elderly and special needs animals. We are new to Tucson and hoping to meet and care for as many animals as possible! I am a consultant who works remotely and also own a home in Tucson, complete with my own pets. As such, I have a strict policy of honoring my clients' trust and delivering the quality of care that I would hope for our own home and loved ones. I'm a consultant with a very flexible, remote schedule. I can easily adapt my meeting and work schedule around the needs of pets and others. I like to have conversations about what will make families and clients most at ease at the beginning of our time working together, and then follow through to make sure trust is built quickly and deeply. This can include following special protocols, providing lots of photos and videos, and calling or texting immediately if something arises that I don't yet know the answer to, such as how to help an animal through a surprise stressful situation or where a favorite toy might be hiding. I am engaged and attentive and learn animals' boundaries and interests quickly and easily.

“Gail was amazing with my elderly diabetic cat. She was able to customize a private little space for my senior kitty to be safe and secure. She also sent periodic pictures and updates to put my mind at ease!”
“Vicky watched my pups for a second time and everything went great 😊 she sent lots of pictures, updates every day, and my dogs were happy as ever when I picked them up. She’s awesome and I plan on using her for future dog sitting!”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Gina was attentive, kind, and great energy! I felt very comfortable knowing my babies were in good hands. I received daily pictures and updates. I couldn't be happier with our experience.”
“We had a meet and greet beforehand. My babies loved her and her yard that was so full of new scents and possible adventures. When we dropped them off they were already familiar with her and the home. They made themselves right at home and they all claimed her as their own. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our babies were being loved on and cared for.”
“One of my guys was recently put on medication, and I was a little worried about leaving him with a sitter. Dana was terrific about it. My boys got a so much attention and came home happy.”
“My dog Kora loves staying with Courtney and her family - she comes back rejuvenated and happy. Courtney is always top on my list for boarding. Great communication, flexibility, and very caring. 10/10.”
“Perfect! Very professional and experienced with energetic dogs! And very accommodating and attentive too! It was my first time leaving my freshly adopted puppy to a dogsitter and I was a bit stressed but she reassured me instantly! I'm pretty sure my puppy had a good time”
“Patrick was great with our two doodles! He was very responsive and gave us daily updates with lots of photos. It was nice that they had occasional doggy company from the neighbor's dogs.”
“Can we give 100 stars? We went to Hawaii and are pretty sure our dog might have had more fun with Lara than we did on our trip. (Which is hard. The trip was awesome.) ?? Our dog is a dog's dog. He loves playing with others pups, and had the chance to do so all week. Every single video she sent showed him just having the best time with the other dogs-- and he even got to go out with the horses on the road! Our dog has A LOT of food issues and it was worrying that he would get into something (he is unable to eat anything except for his specialized food)-- not a problem. She kept him safe and made sure he didn't have anything he wasn't supposed to. Lara and her family are a true dog sitting gem. I need to plan another vacay just so our guy can stay with them again. Thank you, Lara! Consider us fans for life.”
“Michelle was a dream for my Desi girl! She is so incredibly kind, caring and attentive to my pup 😊. I appreciated her consistent communication while I was out of town, her experience with dogs is invaluable, I HIGHLY recommend her to all pet owners!”
“Antonio took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and provided updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. We would definitely use him again to watch our pup and recommend him.”
“Miriam was exceptional! She took care of our dog Kobe for a week when we were out of town. We got daily updates with pictures showing Kobe was having so much fun! There were lots of play time and snuggle time with her family. She has a beautiful, clean house with a spacious backyard, a perfect setup for any dog. We highly recommend her and we are looking forward to be back soon.”
“Julie was so patient with my 10 month old puppy, she kept me updated through text messages and pictures every day! That gave me the confidence to enjoy my trip without having to worry if my pup was being treated well. I will continue to book with Julie for as long as she is available!”
“David took great care of Birdie! She was very happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend David and hopefully he will be available in the future when I need someone to watch her!”
“Annie and her husband are extraordinary people. They took care of Roscoe, like he was there own. Annie took Roscoe on hour long walks, her husband hung out with him on the couch watching tv. Roscoe had a wonderful weekend. I had a wonderful vacation knowing that he was in good hands.I would highly recommend Annie her husband to watch your dog! Roscoe will definitely be going back to visit when I go on another vacation!”
“Kayla was absolutely excellent with my dog Maggie. She sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Maggie was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great, very reliable, and I could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter”
“Lacey was so sweet, so accommodating, communicative, and always quick to respond. I’m so grateful for her help and I would 100% choose her again to take care of Rusty. We had a great experience with her. Thank you again!”
